About this map

The Wind River Indian Reservation meets the high country of the Shoshone National Forest in this survey of the eastern Absaroka Range. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems and high peaks, notably the prominent Washakie Needles and the high point of Monument Peak. A significant landmark is the Muddy Monument Peak Lookout, positioned to monitor the vast timberlands and the transition into the Washakie Wilderness.

The terrain is dissected by numerous watercourses, including Owl Creek and Klocker Creek, which flow through the northeastern sections. Along the western edge, the Basin Trail Ridge provides a travel corridor through the mountainous divide between Fremont and Hot Springs counties. This map serves as a detailed record of land management boundaries and high-altitude topography in the Wyoming wilderness during the early 1990s.
